It is mentioned about Sayyiduna Laqit bin Artah al-Sakuni (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said to him: "We have a neighbour who drinks wine and commits evil deeds; shall I take his matter to the ruler?" He said: "While (living) with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I killed ninety-nine people (in the path of Allah). I would not like, after killing so many people, to expose the faults of a Muslim."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Maslamah bin Ali, who is da'if (weak).
